This is an amazing story that occurred fairly close to my home. If this isn't a perfect example of the Mexican governments corruption and it's effect on non-border states. We were just lucky to catch this criminal.

Mexican Federal Police Officer Arrested for Drug Possession

Quote:

In Williamson County, lawmen arrested a Mexican federal police officer on I-40.

The Sheriff's Department said a drug dog found marijuana inside the luggage belonging to 31-year-old Alfonso Torre.

Torre was on a passenger bus when Deputy Andy Ryan stopped the bus for following another vehicle too closely.

“The most offensive thing that can happen when you’re a career law enforcement officer like I am is for another law enforcement officer to violate that trust that people put in us when we put that badge on,” Williamson County Sheriff Ricky Headley said.

The deputy and his canine inspected the bus, and found 13 pounds of marijuana.

He's being held without bond.

Torre was in the US on a visitor's pass, but the pass restricted him to travel no further than 25 miles from the US/Mexico border.

Five other people were also taken into custody for being the US illegally.

The driver and several other passengers were allowed to continue on their trip.
